source<\/a><\/p>\n KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia ranks third highest among 14 countries on overall level of security concerns, after Brazil and Hong Kong, the first Global Unisys Security Index revealed. <\/p>\n
The index showed that Malaysia recorded an overall index result of 174 out of 300. Brazil topped the list with an index of 188 while France was lowest at 83. <\/p>\n
\n The global average was 137. <\/p>\n
\n The results were revealed in a statement yesterday. <\/p>\n
According to Unisys Asia South marketing communications manager Gerald Gasper, a higher index meant that there were more people who were concerned. <\/p>\n
He said the index covered four areas of security concerns \u00e2\u20ac\u201c financial security, national security, personal security and Internet security. <\/p>\n
Besides Malaysia, Brazil and France, the other countries surveyed for the index were Australia, Belgium, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Britain and the United States. <\/p>\n
\n He said 890 Malaysians in peninsular Malaysia aged between 18 and 64 were interviewed. <\/p>\n
\n Gasper said the main concerns of Malaysians were over the misuse of personal information and credit card fraud. <\/p>\n
\n The other concerns were over health epidemic and terrorism. <\/p>\n
“Across Asia, all countries recorded high concerns due to proximity to terrorist attacks, bird flu and financial fraud,” Gasper said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
